Resum:

The deterioration of the living environment, urban segregation, the lack of community and local identity, homelessness and lack of living spaces or the impossibility of a collective construction of the habitat have aroused social dynamics, resistance movements and civic altemative proposals of great importance, still poorly understood and even less assimilated by urbanism.
Opposite to the conventional urban theory and practice, these social movements seek to respond to the real needs through emerging urban practices directly related to the processes of social production within the urban environment. In this sense, we have seen throughout recent history the emergence of this type of experience. This is the case of both the current urban social practices and those that took place in the sixties and seventies. The protagonists of both experiences, made visible in contexts of crisis and change, claim to participate in the construction of the environment in order to improve urban conditions for the development of everyday life.
In this research, we will take as case study the experiences of the citizen movement that took place in Barcelona during the seventies. In a historic moment of transition and change, this movement claimed a collective construction of the city and to be taken into account by urbanism. The context meant an opportunity for the emergence of new institutions and in this sense the citizen movement generated some areas of freedom that we will call "inclusion spaces", and from which it participated in the formation of another urban model. From direct action to the proposed alternatives, these spaces include: competitions, exhibitions, occupations, meetings, popular urban plans or control groups, these spaces were new forms of democratic action towards the construction of the inclusive city.
The object, therefore, of this research, is to analyse urban social practice of the citizen movement in Barcelona in the seventies, which contributed to the orientation of an alternative city model, understanding the social reality and everyday experiences as key elements of any scientific approach and understanding the urban development and planning in a holistic sense as the ensemble of knowledge and practices that are aimed at the city and that, therefore, build the city. lt is also visible in this research that other urban model oriented by social practice, in order to show its features and the need for active citizens to participate in the construction of the same urban model. The aim is, in short, to visualize and retrieve certain guidelines to guide the rethinking of the current urban model.
Perhaps as a premonition of the turn of the century, this type of experiences that have developed since at least the late twentieth century, have shaped another way to build the town, have introduced other concepts and implemented other tools that have allowed the participation of the people, improving the quality of life and enhancing everyday lite. This research aims at recovering and analysing these experiences in order to transform urban conflict indicators into resources and tools that can be incorporated into the construction of the city and therefore further advance towards the inclusive city.
